    Plate number 2!
    Katie Rose C.

    We got to the Main Course right as they were setting up for Saturday Brunch buffet. Everyone was so friendly, really going out of their way to make us feel welcomed and taken care of! Amazing smiles all around. The breakfast brunch was all you can eat and we were thrilled we had on our stretchy waistbands. The food was obviously made with love! Amazing soul food, just like the song-- beans! greens! potatoes! yams! Waffles, pancakes, and fried catfish (SO GOOD) made fresh to order. We didn't partake in the omelette bar or the cobbler but appreciated that they were there. They had a killer Bloody Mary bar with all the fixins. The crew had a lot of pride in serving fresh, hot food and they have every right to feel proud of what they are putting out. Came out to about 30.00 a person before tip and it was worth 5 times that. Loved our experience here, and so grateful for the team at Main Course for making it such a lovely experience.

    Had a long layover and decided to try some southern food since it's my first time in Atlanta. After doing some Yelp research, and looking at all the amazing options, I ended up deciding on The Main Course. One 6 minute Uber-ride later; I end up at this shop that visually reminds me of an Dairy Queen, with metal tables outfront with bright red umbrellas. I walk in, and I'm greeted not only by the staff; but the fellow customers. Plenty of friendly hellos, people recommending items before I'm even seated. I order the 2 piece (dark) with homefries and an over medium egg covered in Cheese. And an order of the soul food egg rolls, which unfortunately they were sold out of. I wish I had gotten my servers name, as he was such a delight, but he made sure I was able to get my food and myself out of there in time for my flight. When he handed me my food to-go. He also pointed out that the chef made a single soul-food egg roll for me The folks couldn't be kinder; the place couldn't be more welcoming, and the food was incredible. (The crunch alone on my fried chicken could wake the dead!) I'd absolutely return and I wish them the best of luck!

    Love a cute new locally owned restaurant! Food was delicious, service was prompt friendly and inviting. Had the veggie plate for lunch with collard greens, mac n cheese and onion rings! Delicious. Will definitely be back to try the breakfast as well. Miss Joyce, the owner, has clearly put time and thought into this venture! Welcome and thank you!

    The food was excellent, and the service was superb. Very fresh vegetables, the fried chicken was crispy and juicy, and the coffee was great.

There was a lot of love for the burger sliders, chicken tenders, and shrimp. The servers were so helpful, friendly, and joyful during and before event. There were even three chefs, one of them a head chef, actually in attendance making food at the party. After the party, I found out that DeSilva even made a lot of custom orders for the party guests. Positive critique from the party attendees was that some of the food was cut too large to eat in one bite and they were not served with silverware such as the salmon shooters. The negatives: the owner missed her appointment to view our space, then showed up late to the reschedule appointment, and showed up at the start of the party. The owner's response was that she was bringing the hot food and wanted to show up as close to the party start as possible to keep the hot food hot. Showing up at the start of the party did not give us time to inform her of a few changes we made. We had purchased additional food to serve as sides to their passed hors d' oeuvres because there was lot of concern from our HQ the closer we got to the party about alcohol consumption, and concern from our employees about being full. We were going to put this out ourselves but the chefs from the caterer insisted that they would put the food out for us. I don't want to really go into it, but they put our food out so late and in such a small quantity that I feel like it was a power move by the chef to make sure their food received a spotlight. We should have served our sides ourselves as planned because our people love that type of stuff. There was a lot of waste. Part of our event package was pre-packaged to-go boxes for our guests which were to include cupcakes and macaroons. We received 150 cupcakes which received mixed reviews, some extremely good and some not, but no macaroons. We do appreciate the owner attempting to make it right by bringing fresh macaroons for our holiday lunch (arrived after the lunch) but we only received 47 boxes with two macaroons in each. Our headcount for the party was 150 people, the owner's response when asked if there were 150 macaroons was "I didn't know how many people you have". Also, one box of 2 was missing, and one box only had 1 macaroon in it. I don't think the desserts were worth $3k. The most aggravating issue was that we were charged $500 for cleanup and breakdown and the catering company did not clean up. They brought a grease fryer to cook the food and did not clean up the greasy floors that were caused by using the appliance, 10 over-full trash bags were left leaking all over the floor, the food that was dropped during preparation wasn't attempted to be picked up. They somehow used up all of our cleaning supplies without actually cleaning. The owner's response was that she was told (by someone who was not their point of contact) not to worry about cleaning and that we have a cleaning crew that would come clean the following day. They had been using this person as a point of contact instead of calling me because they "saw I was having a good time". I did not get to join the party until after 8pm, even then I was available to all of our vendors the entire time. She also said that she didn't know if there was a mop. Any of us could have provided this. The catering team was gone within an hour of the party ending. Leaving without telling me even though they did see me to ask me if I liked their cupcake. My team had to come in and clean the filthy nightmare that they left the next day. So in the end, would I recommend DeSilva's Kitchen? Yes, but with caution. The food and service was great, and your guests will enjoy them. However, you may be incredibly frustrated behind-the-scenes.
